Essential Politics: The numbers show California is coalescing behind Hillary ClintonBy Christina BellantoniContact Reporter March 28
I'm Christina Bellantoni, and todays Essential Politics gets your week started with a look at the big numbers in California.
59%
Thats the percentage of Californias vote Hillary Clinton held over both Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz in hypothetical match-ups posed by the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll.
80%
The percentage of Sen. Bernie Sanders voters who told pollsters they would cast ballots for Clinton in November.

(4,035 posts)Which is slightly different than being vetted. The GOP won't bother with truth, they'll take any facts and twist them to the most horrendous interpretation. HRC knows this well, after the GOP accused her of murdering her friend who committed suicide. Sanders really has no idea, and based on his reactions to persistent questioning (not only recently, but in VT too), he's not going to be able to keep his cool.
He's lucky he won't have to survive the GOP gauntlet - he'll be able to go back to the Senate with many of his supporters still liking him. If he miraculously end up as the nominee, he will be torn to shreds.
